Liste Rouge

A French "red list" option requested from your telephone operator that keeps a fixed-line number and associated details out of telephone directories.

Full definition

The liste rouge ("red list") is a free option you request from your French telecom operator to keep a fixed-line phone number, and the associated name and address, out of the universal directory (annuaire universel) and directory-enquiry services. A related liste anti-prospection keeps your details findable in the directory but prevents their use for advertising. Requesting the liste rouge is the standard French step for taking fixed-line details out of public telephone directories such as Pages Blanches and 118 services, and it pairs with current telephone-prospecting consent rules and GDPR objection requests for a fuller removal.
